Phoenix Tree Care (formerly Wood-Gaines Tree Service)

Company

In 1982, while preparing for a Masters in Forestry, I was helping a friend take a
branch from a tree in midtown Toronto. Several neighbors, watching were interested
in having some work done as well. That is how it all started.

Large tree removal in midtown Toronto.

Since 1982, the company has grown to include all aspects of Arboriculture. Initially,
the company was involved solely with residential services. Over the years we have
gradually become more involved with commercial companies such as landscape architects,
insurance companies, custom home builders, and condominium managers to name a few.

The ability to work with people, analyze the situation, and define the necessary treatments are our strengths. The company has experienced growth through involvement in a number of large projects and acquisitions.
